We are making changes to the operating hours of our new Telephone Advice Service. This will provide more consistency and will help us to answer as many calls as we can during these challenging times.

The telephone number for our service is 01454 334961 and from today will be open from 10am until 4pm, Monday – Friday.

Please note this number is a local number to replace our face-to-face services and is not the National Adviceline which experiences more demand. Please call us on the local number above if you need advice​.
